Edited to add: I just had to change the link at this post -- the one to the Times of Israel post. The article got memory-holed, so the URL now goes to web.archive.org.

Well, this article answers the questions I posed in the last thread I just made, the one called Israel Demands Racist DNA Testing for Immigrants. From the Times of Israel. Note that the headline, the name of this thread, comes from the article. I, myself, wouldn't use the phrase "the Jews" without great care, for the sake of prudence, and I frown on language that the "average person of average intelligence, raised in the U.S.A." might take for "racist" even if it might not be. I see no cause for using inflammatory language which does nothing but turn people off to your message before they even read what you're saying. It's especially loathsome on a site devoted to bringing souls to the Church; anything that harms souls or Christ's Church is something I don't like seeing on this forum. Anyway, the article:

Jews DO control the media
July 1, 2012, 11:05 am 187

We Jews are a funny breed. We love to brag about every Jewish actor. Sometimes we even pretend an actor is Jewish just because we like him enough that we think he deserves to be on our team. We brag about Jewish authors, Jewish politicians, Jewish directors. Every time someone mentions any movie or book or piece of art, we inevitably say something like, “Did you know that he was Jewish?” That’s just how we roll.

We’re a driven group, and not just in regards to the art world. We have, for example, AIPAC, which was essentially constructed just to drive agenda in Washington DC. And it succeeds admirably. And we brag about it. Again, it’s just what we do.

But the funny part is when any anti-Semite or anti-Israel person starts to spout stuff like, “The Jews control the media!” and “The Jews control Washington!”

Suddenly we’re up in arms. We create huge campaigns to take these people down. We do what we can to put them out of work. We publish articles. We’ve created entire organizations that exist just to tell everyone that the Jews don’t control nothin’. No, we don’t control the media, we don’t have any more sway in DC than anyone else. No, no, no, we swear: We’re just like everybody else!

Does anyone else (who’s not a bigot) see the irony of this?

Let’s be honest with ourselves, here, fellow Jews. We do control the media. We’ve got so many dudes up in the executive offices in all the big movie production companies it’s almost obscene. Just about every movie or TV show, whether it be “Tropic Thunder” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is rife with actors, directors, and writers who are Jewish. Did you know that all eight major film studios are run by Jews?

But that’s not all. We also control the ads that go on those TV shows.

And let’s not forget AIPAC, every anti-Semite’s favorite punching bag. We’re talking an organization that’s practically the equivalent of the Elders of Zion. I’ll never forget when I was involved in Israeli advocacy in college and being at one of the many AIPAC conventions. A man literally stood in front of us and told us that their whole goal was to only work with top-50 school graduate students because they would eventually be the people making changes in the government. Here I am, an idealistic little kid that goes to a bottom 50 school (ASU) who wants to do some grassroots advocacy, and these guys are literally talking about infiltrating the government. Intense.

Now, I know what everyone will say. That everyone tries to lobby. Every minority group and every majority group. That every group has some successful actors and directors. But that’s a far call from saying that we run Hollywood and Madison Avenue. That the Mel Gibsons of the world are right in saying we’re deliberately using our power to take over the world. That we’ve got some crazy conspiracy going down.

Okay. Fine. So some of that is kooky talk.

But let’s look at it a bit deeper.

Maybe it’s true: everyone lobbies. Maybe it’s true there are actors of every ethnicity out there. But come on. We’re the ones who are bragging about this stuff all the time. Can’t we admit that we’re incredibly successful? Can’t we say it to the world?

Vox Wrote:You don't have to. We already know. We're just not allowed to talk about it, as you say.

I’ll give my theory for why Jews don’t want to talk about their control of the media.

First of all, as much as Jews like to admit that so many of them are successful, and that so many of them have accomplished so much, they hate to admit that it has to do with they’re being Jewish. Maybe they’ll admit that it has something to do with the Jewish experience. But how many Jews will admit that there is something inherently a part of every single one of them that helps them to accomplish amazing things?

Vox Wrote:Wow! "There's something inherently a part of every single one of them that helps them to accomplish amazing things"? That's about the most racist thing I've ever heard, I think. It's nothing inherent; it's a spiritual mystery stemming from the fact that the Jewish people are our "elder brothers," a phrase that evokes the relationships between Cain and Abel, between Ishmael and Isaac, and between Esau and Jacob, respectively the elder and the younger. The "elder brother" in Scripture always sells out the spiritual for the worldly, pretty literally in the case of Esau with his "pottage of lentils" (Genesis 25). And the Prince of this World world is Satan (John 14:30). There's no "magical DNA," no "racial" superiority, to wordly success because they're most beloved by God going on here; it's quite the opposite. The exact opposite. Satan does give power; ask any true Satanist. WItchcraft works. Magick works. There are reasons why there are stories like the one about Robert Johnson selling his soul to the Devil at the crossroads in order to become a great guitar player, if you KWIM. The temporal success of the Jewish people should be expected. But barring the salvation of individual Jews of good-will and invincible ignorance, who'd be saved quite in spite of their explicitly anti-Christ religion, the Heavenly world, or "the world to come," as Judaism refers to it, won't be theirs. They need Jesus. The power of AIPAC, their power over the media, their influence in banking (derived from usury) are nothing but a pottage of lentils writ large (and, to carry the metaphor further, boiling hot and poured over the heads of Christians, sadly).

The ADL chairman, Abe Foxman, was interviewed in a great article about the subject and he said that he “would prefer people say that many executives in the industry ‘happen to be Jewish.’” This just about sums up the party line.

The truth is, the anti-Semites got it right. We Jews have something planted in each one of us that makes us completely different from every group in the world. We’re talking about a group of people that just got put in death camps, endured pogroms, their whole families decimated. And then they came to America, the one place that ever really let them have as much power as they wanted, and suddenly they’re taking over. Please don’t tell me that any other group in the world has ever done that. Only the Jews. And we’ve done it before. That’s why the Jews were enslaved in Egypt. We were too successful. Go look at the Torah — it’s right there. And we did it in Germany too.

Vox Wrote:They had tons of power in pre-War Germany, which is why many Germans fell in line with Hitler and wanted their influence gone. The Weimar was decadent (see the movie "Cabaret"). From the Wikipedia article on the Weimar Republic. Note, though, how the first line -- "The 1920s saw a remarkable cultural renaissance in Germany" is one loaded with value judgments. Read what this "renaissance" looked like and see if you agree with the Wiki editor's evaluation:

[html]

Quote: The 1920s saw a remarkable cultural renaissance in Germany. During the worst phase of hyperinflation in 1923, the clubs and bars were full of speculators who spent their daily profits so they would not lose the value the following day. Berlin intellectuals responded by condemning the excesses of capitalism, and demanding revolutionary changes on the cultural scenery. Influenced by the brief cultural explosion in the Soviet Union, German literature, cinema, theatre and musical works entered a phase of great creativity. Innovative street theatre brought plays to the public, and the cabaret scene and jazz band became very popular. According to the cliché, modern young women were Americanised, wearing makeup, short hair, smoking and breaking with traditional mores. The euphoria surrounding Josephine Baker in the metropolis of Berlin for instance, where she was declared an "erotic goddess" and in many ways admired and respected, kindled further "ultramodern" sensations in the minds of the German public.[14] Art and a new type of architecture taught at "Bauhaus" schools reflected the new ideas of the time, with artists such as George Grosz being fined for defaming the military and for blasphemy.

Artists in Berlin were influenced by other contemporary progressive cultural movements, such as the Impressionist and Expressionist painters in Paris, as well as the Cubists. Likewise, American progressive architects were admired. Many of the new buildings built during this era followed a straight-lined, geometrical style. Examples of the new architecture include the Bauhaus Building by Gropius, Grosses Schauspielhaus, and the Einstein Tower.[15]

Not everyone, however, was happy with the changes taking place in Weimar culture. Conservatives and reactionaries feared that Germany was betraying her traditional values by adopting popular styles from abroad, particularly those Hollywood was popularizing in American films, while New York became the global capital of fashion. Germany was more susceptible to Americanisation, because of the close economic links brought about by the Dawes plan.

The Frankfurt School came about during this time. So, the German people got sick of seeing their culture subverted and wanted something done about it. It wasn't "Christian anti-semitism" that brought about the Shoah; it was a reaction against Jewish Bolshevism and decadence. (but shhhhhh! Don't say that out loud; Dershowitz et al might come after you!)

Anyway, note again his idea that the Jewish people have, planted "in each one of [them]" some "thing" that makes them "completely different" from everyone else. Nevermind that the Rom people got put into camps, endured pogroms, had their families decimated, and have also spent hundreds and hundreds of years "wandering," to this writer, there is something about the Jewish people that makes them -- well, magickal.

This ability to succeed, this inner drive, comes not from the years of education or any other sort of conditional factors, but because of the inner spark within each Jew.

Vox Wrote:Ahhh, an "inner spark." That reminds me of stuff I've read at Chabad websites. Excerpts from a page at Chabad.org:

[html]

Quote: The Kabbalah teaches that a true convert actually always had a latent Jewish soul, which for some cosmic reason had to go through a long spiritual journey in order to find its way back. This is one reason why the conversion process is made to be difficult: we are really just testing to see if this person indeed has a Jewish spark; if they do, then no obstacle in the world will be able to stop them rejoining their people....

...A non-Jew most certainly has a soul. But not a Jewish soul. We have different souls because we have different missions. A true convert had a latent Jewish soul all along, and his/her destiny was always to be a part of the Jewish people. But this in no way means that a non-Jew doesn't have a soul.

[/html]

Now, the reason groups like the ADL and AIPAC hate admitting this is because, first of all, they are secular organizations. Their whole agenda is to prove that every Jew is the same as every other person in the world. I cannot imagine a more outlandish agenda. No, we’re different. We’re special.
And clearly, that whole thing about big Jewish noses was totally blown out of proportion. (illustrative photo: Abir Sultan/Flash 90)

And clearly, that whole thing about big Jewish noses was totally blown out of proportion. (illustrative photo: Abir Sultan/Flash 90)

Of course, people hate when anyone says this. They assume that if you’re saying that Jews are special, it somehow implies that they’re better.

To be honest, I’m not really sure what the word “better” even means. What I do know is that being special simply means a person has a responsibility to do good.

I think that’s the real reason most Jews are so afraid to admit that there’s something inherently powerful and good about them. Not because they’re afraid of being special. But because they’re afraid of being responsible. It means that they’re suddenly culpable when they create dirty TV shows that sully the spiritual atmosphere of the world. It means that things can’t just be created for the sake of amusement or fun or even “art.”

Suddenly, we can’t screw up the world.

The interesting thing is that Jews have done so much for the world in so many other ways. They’ve moved forward civil rights; they’ve helped save lives in Darfur, Haiti and just about everywhere else.

Vox Wrote:That Wiki article about the value judgment displayed in that bit about "cultural renaissance" springs to mind. I think the word would've been better off overall without the "so much good" being talked about.

But that’s not enough. Fixing the world physically is only half the battle.

Our larger battle, the harder battle, is elevating the world spiritually. And this is what the people that fight with every inch of their soul to prove that Jews are just the same as everyone else are afraid of. It means that we can no longer just “express ourselves.” We’ll have to start thinking about the things we create and the way we act. It means we’ll have to start working together. It means we’ll have to hold one other, and ourselves, to a higher standard.

Vox Wrote:That "higher standard" being -- "tolerance," mass immigration into Christian (but not Jewish) lands, "freedom" to fap to porn, normalization of sexual perversions, eradication of that silly Catholic "superstitious" nonsense about Jesus, scientism, getting rid of ignorant ideas about there being a Creator, etc. Yup, that's all very spiritually enlightening!

The time has come, though. We no longer have to change our names. We no longer have to blend in like chameleons. We own a whole freaking country.

Vox Wrote:More like they "own," insofar as they have an inordinate influence over, many countries. Israel, the USA, the European Union, etc.

Instead, we can be proud of who we are, and simultaneously aware of our huge responsibility — and opportunity.

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.

The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.

So I've taken it upon myself to re-convince America that Jews run Hollywood by launching a public relations campaign, because that's what we do best. I'm weighing several slogans, including: "Hollywood: More Jewish than ever!"; "Hollywood: From the people who brought you the Bible"; and "Hollywood: If you enjoy TV and movies, then you probably like Jews after all."

I called ADL Chairman Abe Foxman, who was in Santiago, Chile, where, he told me to my dismay, he was not hunting Nazis. He dismissed my whole proposition, saying that the number of people who think Jews run Hollywood is still too high. The ADL poll, he pointed out, showed that 59% of Americans think Hollywood execs "do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans," and 43% think the entertainment industry is waging an organized campaign to "weaken the influence of religious values in this country."

That's a sinister canard, Foxman said. "It means they think Jews meet at Canter's Deli on Friday mornings to decide what's best for the Jews." Foxman's argument made me rethink: I have to eat at Canter's more often.

"That's a very dangerous phrase, 'Jews control Hollywood.' What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood," he said. Instead of "control," Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry "happen to be Jewish," as in "all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish."

But Foxman said he is proud of the accomplishments of American Jews. "I think Jews are disproportionately represented in the creative industry. They're disproportionate as lawyers and probably medicine here as well," he said. He argues that this does not mean that Jews make pro-Jewish movies any more than they do pro-Jewish surgery. Though other countries, I've noticed, aren't so big on circumcision.

I appreciate Foxman's concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don't care if Americans think we're running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.

The Jewish people do more than control the media, they beautifully manipulate it and have controlled the message so successfully that society is lead to beleive that the world truly does revolve around them. They have created a media reality according to their prejudices and self-interests on every possible opportunity.... "Israel cannot allow a nuclear Iran to exist".... "I dont see him as a viable candidate for defense minister because he not openly pro Israel" ... "antisemitism alleged after the United Nations votes to upgrade the status of the Palestinian delegation" ... "CNN - USA Today polling suggests the Jewish vote is clearly behind the Obama campaign" .... "A gross failure on the part of Olympic Organizers not to publically recognize the 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre of Israeli athletes "... " A new report from the ADL suggests that anit-Semetic attitudes are still deeply ingrained on the European continent, to the dismay of Leading Rabbi's"...

Nevertheless, it stupefies me how anyone not 100% percent in support of Israel could be considered anti-semitic by certain Jews.

To say or acknowledge otherwise is suicide.

And anyone who argues this otherwise is labeled a conspiracy theorist and a nut by the mainstream media.
